Hey there all, Had a really good weekend. Friday I got dressed up in the ole Scout gear and Went over to see the Guys running the Tribal Wars LAN event. Went really well, I am depressed that I didn’t sign up. Looks like it would have been really fun. Amy got lots of looks in her Trooper Groupie outfit (I think they were staring more at Her and not at me). Saturday was a Lazy morning and then a Night out with Some 501st Friends Steve and Rain. We hit a nice Japanese SteakHouse. Then off to the Potomac Mills Mall to watch I-Robot. Movie Review to follow. Sunday was a Gym day. Spent about 30 Min on the Low Impact Machine (My knees would have killed me had I done a treadmill). Then the rest of Sunday was nice and quiet. I am really getting on this Gym Kick. I have a Surprise costume coming for DragonCon and want to look Good in it. So it lots of Situps and Cardio. Must Loose this Gut!!! 

Oh!!  Almost forgot to add.  We picked up a Great Dress for Amy to Wear in Costume.  The File Name gives it away a bit (as with the inlet).  She is really happy with it.  Here She is

So, I-Robot. This was a Really good movie. The action sequences were well done and the Plot was very straight forward. I know it was Based loosely on an Isaac Asimov story. While I had not read the book. The Ideas presented were done very well. If I say anything about it I know it would give it away. If your looking for Just Sci-Fi and Action with no Plot, then look elsewhere. If you want all that and a good Story too, then go See I-Robot

Ok so the videos from Belagosa got me thing about a number of things. First I decided to run a test on the capture software and built this little Rebel advertisement. Arik brought up the Idea that I might be able to film my Fan Film Idea in SWG. I would need the help of one of the Devs but I think I can do it. We shall see. Other than that, Pretty slow week. Will prolly go see I-Robot this weekend. Might post more soon.

Wow, What a weekend, I really did pretty much nothing!

I know it’s hard to believe but it’s True. On Friday I stayed in and watched some More Buffy. Played a little swg but not much.

Saturday I leisurely woke up and went over to Jen’s house to help Amy babysit. While there we (you guessed it) watched more Buffy. . Sunday was a very lazy day, Went out to try and find a new Balaclava cause I lost mine at shoreleave. After that, Yup, more Buffy. . I managed to get to the 6th Episode on Season 3. I know next weekend is a mini-con, I hope to get a new Balaclava before then. /sigh Well here is something to keep you Busy, this dude has some Funny SWG videos on his site, Check it out!

Post. Just cos I hadda. I’m doing a big fat nothing this weekend … it’s the first weekend i’ve done nothing in a while. I plan to Enjoy my nothing. Thanks for caring.

I felt the need to Post something because I haven’t Posted all week. Sad thing is, there hasn’t been much to Post about. Not much going on at home and not much this weekend. Shrug! Maybe something exciting will happen and I can post about it. In the mean time, Have a Good weekend!

The days just flew by, even though I spent probably 26 hours of it in a car. The drive to DC was fast and uneventful and only took about 9 1/2 hours. But the drive home was horrible. Everything from storms, bad directions (Damn you Bitchin Betty!), almost getting pulled over, bad accidents (including one chemical spill in which I inhaled a lot of ammonia), horrible traffic and me almost getting plowed by a woman not paying attention (she took out the guy behind me). All in all, it took me 15 hours to get home.

P.P.S Hey Amy…OMG, Steve!!!!

Howdy all! Shoreleave is over, So is the whole weekend! Where the heck did it Go?!?!?!?! The days flew by so quick I feel I need another weekend just to recover! Well anyways, Here goes the ever loved DAY BY DAY REPORT of the weekend!

Friday: Yeah I know I blogged Friday already, but more happened! (: The Plan was that Lee would drive in on Friday afternoon and Doc and Mark would drive up in the evening. Well Plans change kinda. Lee rolled in around 4:30ish and we headed upstairs at my work for a “Meeting” Lee got to meet some of the guys from work and got pwned in Halo! But it was still a Blast and our team won the CTF match! Well we went home and Got some Red Robin for dinner. Amy even had Lettuce on a Burger! (gasp) After that it was Back to Prepare for a Full house. Turns out Mark couldn’t make it up but instead we had Matt, another 501ster. Played a Little more Halo on my Tiny ass screen and then Headed to bed.

Saturday: Managed to Pull myself out of bed at around 9:30am and On the road by around 10:30 to head to Shoreleave! Was only about an hour up there so we Made time singing in the Car to the Buffy Musical and Avenue Q. Hey Matt, what’s the Internet for? When we got there we Went ahead and Registered. Walked through the Dealers room and saw a few of the Celebs. Sadly, nothing in the Dealers room caught my attention so we went to see some of the Talks. Got to see Brian Thompson give his talk, Real nice guy! Then it was off to the 501st Luncheon. Was really nice to see the turnout we had, around 30-40 Troopers showed up! I am sure the food for lunch was great even if it took an hour to show up. (I didn’t eat, wasn’t hungry) After Lunch we decided it was time to Armor up. Jango Steve and Rain were nice enough to let us change in their room. Was great having so many Troopers in Armor. Amy got to debut her first costume (at her first convention) She was the Biker Scout Groupie. (although she kept eyeballing those TK guys). While walking through the Celebrity area, a lot of the Celebs wanted to take Pictures with us (how weird is that!) We also got to Invade a Star Trek Bridge. Jango Steve got to Transform into Wolverine Steve and show off his AMAZING Costume!!! We headed off to the Masquerade and saw some really cool outfits and had a good laugh at some of the entertainment. Then it was time to Dance and Boogie in 10-Forward. After a Good run there we were beat and it was time to head Home. At least, for some of us. Doc and Matt decided they weren’t done and would catch a ride back. So, drive, Home, Sleep (pass out).

Sunday: Groan! Woke up at around 11am (I think). Poured some Caffeine into the system and Got some food. Doc and Matt showed up somewhere around 1ish and we went to Applebee’s for lunch (yes, Lunch). Then to Wal-Mart to try and get some Prints done of the Digital Pics. They have a Cool machine that prints out Regular pictures from Digital Cards! (Yeah i know I need to get out more and Unplug) Back to the house to meet up with William (Footloose from SWG). We hung out Playing X-Box some more and then Decided we should go See Spiderman 2 (They hadn’t seen it yet). Got me thinking about a Cool Black Spidey Costume!

Well, That about Sums up the weekend, Lee left this morning around 8:30ish and is driving now. I Imagine he will post when he gets home. I need a Nap now!

WhooHoo! It’s friday! that means it is coming on Party time. As I write this, Lee is on his way up from TN and it’s Game on. You see, he fancies himself quite the Pilot in X-wing Alliance, We have been playing for quite a while. But we have a problem playing Online cause both of us are on Routers and firewalls and Blah blah blah, It’s got issues. So we haven’t actually be able to play against each other. So he is bringing his system up for some good old fashion LAN gaming. and it’s gonna be GAME ON!!

Also in the news. Theoreticly, Doc and Mark are suposed to come up this evening to crash at my Place before heading up to ShoreLeave on Saturday. So I guess it’s Kinda Party time at my place! (: Hmm I should go Shopping.

On the Buffy Front, I have no finished Season 1 of the Series. I was expecting a cliff hanger but it was still Good. Even started Season 2 with the first Episode. I am trying to Tone myself down to like 2 episodes a day instead of the Marathon I did last Monday. Well this weekend is Gonna Rock, expect pictures on Sunday or Monday!

Wow! I felt the need to post about this little bit of news. Scotty has always been one of my Star Trek Hero’s (prolly cause he is an Engineer). Big Salute to James Doohan! Please Gods, Let him go easy.

Yahoo! News – ‘Star Trek’s’ Scotty Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s

Ok. We need to talk about this “Hurricane Season” thing. People go around saying this like it’s ski season or duck-hunting season; something during which those people who are so inclined as to participate go and purchase odd-looking and expensive gear, disappear on a three day weekend and come back with a brace of pheasant or a full-body cast. This is misleading in extremis. There’s no choice here, innocent bystanders get the shaft right along with the storm-groupies and heavy-weather-whores. And there’s the major problem: I like my power. My internet. My gaming console du jour. My Inter-freaking-net. And dame hurricane lays trump on all that mess. All she allows for is beer-drinking and candle-light fornication. Which, in case you’re wondering, I have no problems with. But I want it on my own terms. Human beings long ago broke from the estrus cycle; I see no need to have some nasty wind and rain dictate a return.

I’m not even going to dignify comments about the bread-milk-egg hoarding that commences as the first damp gales roll in, nor will I stoop to comments about the relative plunge in driving skill as the season approaches; let that be another ran- er, blog all it’s own.
